A few questions
I want to have some answers to a few questions....
Why do the two major parties insist on keeping us within a two party system in our country while pushing a multi-party system in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, there were a dozen or so candidates on the ballot. In Iraq, there are many parties.
Why can these countries have things like proportional representation when, in our country, talk of electoral reform is limited to discussion of what sort of machines we use to vote?
Do the people in America not deserve more choices so as to be better represented? Is not the point of a representative government to have elected officials which most closely match the views of their people? Do you feel like the candidates running for office within the two major parties actually represent you?
Also, I noticed a Denise Majette ad running here in Georgia accused Johnny Isakson of wanting to create a 23% sales tax. The commercial noted how horrible this was, but completely failed to mention that the income tax would be repealed at the same time. I'm no fan of Johnny Isakson, but that ad was SO INCREDIBLY misleading. Who suffers? The people of the State of Georgia.
God help us.
